Share runs remotely from the Alfresco Repository. If you change the connection port (or IP address - remember the Repository can be on a separate server) then you have to tell Share where you've moved it.

Look in the share-config-custom.xml.sample file in webapps/share/WEB-INF/classes/alfresco/web-extension for the config you need. This should all be mentioned in the installation guide - is it missing from there?

Thanks,
Mike

Did you tried to open an additional port in tomcat server.xml without commenting the existing one?
like

    <Connector executor="tomcatThreadPool"
               port="8080" protocol="HTTP/1.1" 
               connectionTimeout="20000" 
               redirectPort="8443" />
    <Connector executor="tomcatThreadPool"
               port="80" protocol="HTTP/1.1" 
               connectionTimeout="20000" 
               redirectPort="8443" />‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍
